Finding Journal Articles: Finding review articles

Finding and Evaluating Journal Articles: Library Workshop

I need to...

Find review articles for my topic so I can get some background on what research has been done so far. How do I find them? ______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Select the appropriate subject databases.

For example, to find a literature review on the topic of addiction in psychology, select the Central Index database and/or other related databases (SCOPUS).

Type your keyword (addiction) and on another line add the term Review* (* equals truncation that selects either review or reviews).  

In some other databases limit your results to Review Articles.
